Abstract

At hysterectomies in patients beyond the age of 45 years, we have to decide on concomitant adnexectomies, tubectomies, or oophorectomies as ovarian or tubal cancer prevention. Ovarian conservation should be considered in many women having pelvic surgery as oophorectomy runs with decreased long-term health outcomes. Oophorectomy is indicated for women with an adnexal mass, i.e., suspicious for malignancy or for a mass that increases in size or complexity when monitored with serial sonography. Adnexal torsion can usually be treated with detorsion rather than adnexectomy. Oophorectomy decreases the likelihood of repeat surgery in women with severe, symptomatic endometriosis, but ovarian conservation should be considered in those women who are younger than age 40, since conservation avoids early surgical menopause. Tubectomy or salpingectomy with hysterectomies, however, is considered today as good standard care at hysterectomies for adnexal cancer prevention.
